Since we did not get a new episode this week1, I saved this review to help with the withdraw symptoms, at least until I wanted all of you Bureaucrats to read and comment and spend more time on the site, so I began flooding you with what you want. For the proper review, read More…

Comic Television Discussion – Week beginning 14th October 2018
`Lex Pendragon Arrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series 0 Comments
While I am still waiting for The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina joins us on the 26th, but there is a lot to watch in the build up, including the entire third season of Daredevil, and new show Titans that I missed letting you know about last week. Supergirl and Arrow return as well, as Kara takes her turn as a mild manner reporter, and Oliver is the new black as Arrow starts out in prison. The Flash spends some quality time with his adult daughter, and Jefferson leaves his principal job on Black Lightning. Titans adds two more “heroes” to the four they introduced in their pilot last week.
In other universes, The X-Millenials try to get some more allies as the aforementioned Devil of Hell’s Kitchen returns to after having gone missing. Riverdale begins setting up new storylines with their second episode instead of their first for this season.

After boring us with a filler episode for the second episode of the season, The Gifted comes back strong with multiple plot points happening this week, including the introduction of The Morlocks to the XTVU.1

**blows Dust Cumulation off of discussion posts**
Woah, the new season is racing in, as The Flash, Black Lightning, and Riverdale join The Gifted as our weekly TV shows, and catching me off guard because I wasn’t paying attention. I am leaving out our animated shows, but let me know if anyone is watching any of them enough to include them. I don’t think we get any new Netflix shows until The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina joins us on the 26th.

The Gifted – unMoored
`Lex Pendragon TV Series 3 Comments
The Gifted continues with its second episode, but it does seem to hit the wall. My wife described this episode as “Filler”, which seems to fit last seasons pacing, but is not very good for the second episode of the season to be chained down so quickly.

The Gifted – eMergence
Season 2 of The Gifted drops like a newborn, and drops the X titles in favor of the M because of the Mutant on Mutant drama. Our first episode fast forwards us six months to set the stage for this season’s story.

`Lex Pendragon Superman/Smallville, TV Series
As Supergir’s Delayed Cap to season three hits, DC leaves for their summer vacation, just in time as Cloak & Dagger might actually work together this episode. Meanwhile, if you thought that you finally would have some free time, Luke Cage drops from Harlem (or Netflix) to take up your entire weekend on Friday!

Incredibles 2 – The Bureau42 Review
Fourteen years after the last movie, Incredibles 2 picks up immediately where the previous one left off. Does it capture the same magic and quality? Is Brad Bird still the best writer/director the Fantastic Four have had? Does a lack of the definite article hamper the title at all?
My nine year old (Inara) thought it was awesome. My five year old (Majel) thought the fights were scary, but the rest was alright. My twenty year old (Raven) texted “It was incredible.” My forty-year old man thoughts are below the cut.

`Lex Pendragon Superman/Smallville, TV Series
The shows continue to dwindle as Legion pretends to be the X-Files instead of the X-Men for his finale, and Legend and the Flash’s episode titler was bored with the end of those seasons and brings the pun game to Supergirl. Cloak & Dagger explorer alternative religions. In the world of ink and paint, where Big Hero 6 explore an EMP, and Spider-Man returns from his hiatus.

`Lex Pendragon Arrow, Comics, Legends of Tomorrow, Superman/Smallville, The Flash, TV Series 2 Comments
We are entering a golden age of comics on TV, maybe not due to quality, but definitely due to quantity. Supergirl gets a new villain of the week, Arrow continues his Heroes in Prison story, Constantine joins the Legends (Yeah!!), The Flash threatens to kill a favorite character, Black Lightning lets his daughters do the heroing, and Titans gives us some backstory. The Gifted took the week off (presumably because they’re behind on watching Daredevil, too,) and Riverdale trends towards more Halloween horror in order to make its sister show, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, feel welcome when it drops on the 26th.
